Next, we need getter and setter methods for our member variable. Let's start with the getter method. Add a method to get

Can anybody help me? public class Spaceship { public String mType;

public String getType() {

    return mType;
}
public void setType(String type) {
    mType = type;
}

}

Spaceship.java 
public class Spaceship {
    public String mType;

    public String getType() {

      return mType;
    }
    public void setType(String type) {
      mType = type;
    }
}

Hi Victor,

The member variable name was supposed to be shipType so everywhere that you have mType you should change it to shipType

Also, the method name should be getShipType. The tester is checking if you're following that convention. It should be get followed by the name of the variable.
